Jose Abreu Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 24s25 seconds ago The #Dodgers have maintained they will trade Puig only if they get another outfielder. Reddick is that outfielder. Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 14s14 seconds ago Addition of Reddick for the Dodgers gives FO a better position from which to trade Yasiel Puig. White Sox want him in any LAD deal. Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo 23m23 minutes ago Chris Cotillo Retweeted Jared Carrabis Just industry rumblings, I've heard nothing concrete. Just interesting in response to Olney saying CWS wants Puig.Chris Cotillo added, Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo 27m27 minutes ago Some rumblings in recent days about a deal that could send Yasiel Puig to the White Sox for James Shields. @Buster_ESPN says CWS want Puig. Figured we needed a thread just for Puig since we don't know who it's for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Bob Nightengale @BNightengale 29s29 seconds ago The #Dodgers, who have had OF Yasiel Puig on the market, now can move him after getting Josh Reddick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxnfins Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 It's probably Shields as the main piece. It's probably going to happen now that they have Reddick, just My hunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipps Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 If the Sox pick up Puig wouldnt that kind of label them as buyers at the deadline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd just be caught in between as usual. Not that I would complain about a Shields for Puig trade but it'd definitely be an oddball given the situation.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 Here the thing about Puig......one, he's been bad this year. Two, he was hurt last year. And three, he's signed through 2018, and IMO, we won't be contenders until 2018. So we really only get 1 year to win with Puig? Not saying I would rather keep Shields, just saying this doesn't really help our future as much unless our plan is to flip him once he regains some value.

lasttriptotulsa Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Puig only has three years of control left. Their interest is pretty telling to me that they plan on competing next year and pretty much signals zero chance at a complete rebuild. It would make zero sense to trade Sale and Quintana and then turn around and trade for Puig.

Jose Abreu Posted August 1, 2016 Author Share Posted August 1, 2016 Jon Morosi @jonmorosi 1m1 minute ago Expect #Dodgers to remain in starting pitching market. Remember: Hill is on the DL, and LA has a 4-man rotation at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
